Chords

[Intro] C [Verse 1]
                    C                        F
I say remember this moment in the back of my mind

                            Am
The time we stood with our shaking hands

     G                      F
The crowds in stands went wild

                          C
We were the kings and the queens

                      F
And they read off our names

                     Am   G                      F
It was the end of a era   but the start of an age

                           Am                      F    G
You held your head like a hero on a history book page
[Chorus]
                         C                         F
And I was screaming Long live the walls we crashed through

                        Am                      G
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

                        C                      F
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"

                           Am
And bring on all the pretenders

     G               C
One day, we will be remembered
[Instrumental] C Am F x2 [Verse 2]
C  Am  F                                         C    Am  F
         There's glitter on the floor after the party

                                        C    Am  F
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby

                                 C       Am    F
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me from the night before but [Chorus 1]
C       Am  F    C
  Don't read the last page

C       Am  F                                                    C
  But I stay when you're lost and I'm scared and you’re turning away

  Am   F    C
I want your midnights

C                         Am                  F          C
  But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day
[Instrumental] C Am G F G F [Bridge]
         G
And the years passed

       Am          F
Like scenes of a show

        G              Am             F
The Professor said to write what you know

         G
Lookin' backwards

       C           G            F
Might be the only way to move forward

          G
Then the actors

      Am            F
Were hitting their marks

         G
And the slow dance

      Am              F
Was alight with the sparks

          G
And the tears fell

     C       G              F
In synchronicity with the score

        G
And at last

          C           G           F
She knew what the agony had been for
[Bridge 2]
G        Am         F
Hold on to spinning around

G        Am         F
Confetti falls to the ground

          G                       F
May these memories break our fall
[Bridge 3]
C      Am    F             G
Please don't ever become a stranger whose

C     Am      F         G
Laugh I could recognize anywhere

C      Am    F             G
Please don't ever become a stranger whose

C     Am      F         G
Laugh I could recognize anywhere
[Chorus]
            C  Am          F                 G
and Hold on       to the memories, they will hold on to you

C        Am         F                 G
  Hold on  to the memories, they will hold on to you

C        Am         F                 G
  Hold on  to the memories, they will hold on to you

C Am  F            G
          And I will hold on to you
C Am F G [Chorus]
          C   Am  F
and Long live

    G                        C  Am  F
the walls we crashed through

        G              C      Am  F
How the kingdom lights shined

    G        C  Am  F
for me and you

G          C    Am  F
Long, long live

        G        C    Am  F
All the magic we made

         G             C    Am  F
Bring on all the pretenders

G       C  Am  F
  One day

   G            C    Am  F
We will be remembered
[Outro]
     C                                G
The only thing that's left is the manuscript

                                        F
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores

C                             G
Now and then I reread the manuscript

                         F
But the story isn't mine anymore
